What is a PACE?The conventional textbook approach is divided into bite-sized, achievable worktexts called PACEs, each of which is equivalent to a chapter in a standard textbook. A year of academic progress usually is made up of twelve PACEs.

PACEs integrate character-building lessons into the academic content and are carefully designed to develop critical thinking skills and create mastery learning. Students begin their reaading PACE by the objectives, a Bible verse, and a corresponding character trait. From the very beginning students know what is expected and assume the responsibility for their own learning!
